Ground states optimized distributions

QMSTAT has to date been applied in a number of studies since its original formulation [19,20,21,85,120,121,122,139,161,162,163,164,165,166], These involve studies of ground state solvation, with geometry optimizations in a water solvent and solvation of ions also, solvent shift distributions have been computed for a number of different one-photon absorption and fluorescence transitions. We will not review all these studies, instead three noteworthy applications of QMSTAT are highlighted below. We start with a study of the solvation of the monatomic ions Li+, Na+, F and Cr, with special focus on the coupling between repulsion and the electronic degrees...

Theoretical studies of the properties of the individual components of nanocat-alytic systems (including metal nanoclusters, finite or extended supporting substrates, and molecular reactants and products), and of their assemblies (that is, a metal cluster anchored to the surface of a solid support material with molecular reactants adsorbed on either the cluster, the support surface, or both), employ an arsenal of diverse theoretical methodologies and techniques for a recent perspective article about computations in materials science and condensed matter studies [254], These theoretical tools include quantum mechanical electronic structure calculations coupled with structural optimizations (that is, determination of equilibrium, ground state nuclear configurations), searches for reaction pathways and microscopic reaction mechanisms, ab initio investigations of the dynamics of adsorption and reactive processes, statistical mechanical techniques (quantum, semiclassical, and classical) for determination of reaction rates, and evaluation of probabilities for reactive encounters between adsorbed reactants using kinetic equation for multiparticle adsorption, surface diffusion, and collisions between mobile adsorbed species, as well as explorations of spatiotemporal distributions of reactants and products. 

The geometry-optimized MNDO calculations which almost reproduce the experimental SiCl bond lengths as well as the angle ClSiCl (scheme 8) suggest, for the ground state of the neutral dichlorosilylene, a charge distribution with a highly positive Si...
